He said he will try to "do better" in the future.
Nick Cannon has issued a public apology for announcing he was to become a dad for the 8th time.
The presenter realised that it was insensitive and wrong of him to do so, especially after losing his son Zen so recently.
Earlier this week, he confirmed model Bre Tiesi was pregnant with his child.
However, Alyssa Scott, mother to the late baby Zen, was hurt by his announcement.
The grief-stricken mum said the announcement was difficult for her.
"It is painful having my son be a part of conversations that aren’t in alignment with his light and legacy. It isn’t something I chose for him or myself."
Nick stressed that he could have done better.
"I wish to always protect and respect the privacy of the mothers of all my children."
The dad said he just wants to be "sincere".
He believes he failed to be sincere on Monday when he made the announcement.
"I failed to do so on Monday because it was a lot going on. I didn’t know how to explain it.
"I didn’t know what to say, so I was probably talking too fast and probably misspoke," he said.
"I know I could do better when dealing with delicate and sensitive discussions."
He has promised the mothers of his children that he will do better.
"I will continue to be more understanding, caring, compassionate like they often show me."
The TV host and Alyssa Scott lost their baby boy Zen after he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer.
Zen, who was born in July 2021, sadly died at just five months old on December 5th, 2021.
